More quotes by Robert Barry
I was always - I was a movie nut. I lived in the movies, really.
Robert Barry
So I never had trouble getting work or working or doing - I always worked. I worked when I went to college. I worked after school.
Robert Barry
Words are objects of a color and a size and a form and a shape.

reaking up the space and using the space, using the length of the space, the height of it, whatever, the light, all of those things. It's something that you have to kind of slowly recognize in your work and develop over years of making work.
Robert Barry
I really wasn't about to get a Ph.D. in art history, you know, which you'd absolutely needed. And that was not something I wanted. And I loved art history, but not that way.

The idea of, say, the compressed space between the floor and the object hanging over it and then the long space between the object and the ceiling was a kind of interesting idea for me - the idea of compressing and expanding. That was an idea that I worked with, which you could only do sculpturally. You can't really do with a painting on the wall.
Robert Barry
I am a very lucky artist in the sense that I have had all my life a lot of opportunities to do what I want to do.
Robert Barry
I always took photographs. I photographed a lot of trees, by the way, which is another image I used often in my work, the tree image.
Robert Barry
I never stop thinking about what I have to do. Let's put it that way. The only thing that takes me out of that is probably a film. I watch a lot of movies.
Robert Barry
I try to create a kind of dynamic thing that hopefully some people will become interested in. And what they do with it after that is sort of up to them. But it's a specific item, it's a specific thing that I've done. And what they do with it is their problem.
Robert Barry
The idea of words and photos was something that appealed to me.
Robert Barry
I've always said my biggest influence is my, just, the last work I did, the last piece I made.
Robert Barry
I'm my own worst critic. I mean, I know what's wrong with everything that I've done.
